The tram stops running after SunFest. The full schedule is below:

OCEAN CITY BOARDWALK TRAM

Most of the shops, bars and restaurants are open seven days a week until at least Columbus Day. Many OC businesses are open year round, at least on weekends. Most of my favorite bars, including the Cork Bar, Purple Moose, Bearded Clam, and Seacrets are open at least on weekends year round.

There is no free trailer parking in OC that I am aware of. You can check with the WalMart (410.629.0502) on their trailer parking policies. Riding a bike from there to OC would not be too hard. The route is all along Route 50. It is about 4 miles, and in this area Route 50 is level and the road has a wide shoulder. You would need to walk the bike across the sidewalk on the Route 50 bridge.

You can also park at the 100th Street trailer parking lot. Trailers are $10/day or $50/week. There are also some private parking around town (mostly near the south end of town) that may be able to accommodate you. You can also contact Van's Marine at 10438 Racetrack Road (just off Route 50) for trailer parking.

If you are coming for Bikefest in September, there are some trailer parking options available from 11 to 15 September 2019, for a fee. Contact the Bikefest sponsors at [email protected],

I don't know of any paid public lots that are less than $2/hour, but you can get free parking in OC fairly easily. Parking on a lot of side streets north of 10th Street in OC is free!

The level of crowd really varies block by block. For example, often because of the Holiday Inn and Sunset Island, it is very crowded at 67th Street, but it is much less crowded at just one block south at 66th Street.

The least crowded areas tend to be areas where there is little residential (hotels, motels, condos, etc.) on the bayside and low-density residential on the ocean side. Some areas that typically less crowded are around 41st to 46th Streets, 50th to 57th Street, and around 126th Street.

OC's beaches are never so crowded that you won't find a spot to sit and spread out you chairs and blanket.

Boardwalk stores will be open on the weekends, most likely from 10 am to late afternoon.  Half the restaurants will be open.  BJ's, Fager's, Dead Freddies, Seacrets, Big Peckers and Ropewalk are open year-round.

There are no private shower facilities in Ocean City.  There are rinse showers on the Boardwalk.  You can find a shower and changing facility at Frontier Town.  Call them for details on a day camping pass.

I believe it is 85 and Sunny.  They are at 410-713-9220.

There is a free Comcast hotspot there, if you are a Comcast subscriber.  I highly recommend making sure you can use it before your meeting.
